Sunday July 13 2003
1:40 pm
Chandler Mansion
JR and Babe are sneaking in through the tunnels; JR is holding his duffle bag, and is going to go take a shower. JR is standing in front of his bedroom door; it's closed
Babe – so why are there tunnels in this place?
JR – the Underground Railroad
Babe – wow! This place is historic, and to think it saved many African- Americans from slavery
JR – yeah! It's pretty damn cool!
Babe laughs
JR – so…this is my room (he opens the door; they walk in and Babe closes the door behind her) what do you think?
Babe – it's huge, and it's decorated beautifully! May I look around?
Babe walks around and takes it all in, and she sees the big spa bathtub in the corner of the bathroom, and the big shower. Then she finally reaches the big walk in closet. JR walks behind her and she leans against him.
JR – the night when we came to town, when I called you I was going to sneak you in, and give you a surprise, the surprise is this bedroom…and the walk in closet, this is our room now…and I got a bit of my taste and your taste into it.
Babe turns around and has tears coming out of her eyes; JR wipes them away
JR – baby…don't cry! You and I both screwed up, it's over with…let's just work at getting past it! We can't change the past…but we can change the present and future.
Babe – you way to good for me! I don't deserve you!
JR – that's not true, plus I feel like that with you all the time! Like I don't deserve you!
Babe – I love you so much JR, and you're the best husband
JR – I love you also very much, your as good of a wife
They kiss and they're hugging and holding each other
Babe – thanks baby
JR – so I am going to go shower, my dad isn't home yet! But you can either wait here or you can go snoop around the mansion
Babe – all right
JR – I'll be done in 30 minutes…give or take!
Babe – okay
JR kisses Babe's cheek; he walks in to the bathroom and closes the door…Babe looks around and walks back to the closet, she smiles and thinks to herself
Do I have enough items in my wardrobe to fill this closet? Probably not!
Babe walks to the door; and walks out she closes it behind her and looks around her, she sees 10 doors where out of the 10, 4 are open; she walks around and is looking for the stairs, she finds them at the far end of the hall she walks down them and is now in the foyer, she sees the front door behind her and ahead of her is a living room she walks in to it, and looks around 2 sofa's, some chairs, a fireplace, a small mini bar type table, 3 entrances, one with French doors…all leading to what? The one French door leads to the back yard where there is a pool, and more seating and a gate to the front of the house and a gate to another area of the ground, it has a pound and seating, and in the far distance are stables, and a exercise pit. She walks back to the house and she goes in to door 2 which is right beside the French doors, it leads down a hallway with more doors, she sees two large doors in the center, and can here a movie playing, it has Theater on the doors. Then there is a library, and 2 offices. She walks back in to the living room and goes to door 3, where it is a huge kitchen, with a pantry and a wine cellar, Babe gets thirsty she looks in the fridge there is strawberry milk which is kinda cool, she thought she was the only kid in the world who loved this stuff, she looks for a glass and finds it, she pours and puts it away, she takes a zip and turns around.
Babe – (jumps) you almost gave me a heart attack!
Liza – I am sorry…but who are you? Why are you in our house? and Why are you drinking my daughter's strawberry milk?
Babe – (walks up to Liza; and holds out her hand) Babe Carey…I am JR's girlfriend
Liza – (looks surprised; she looks at her from top to bottom; she shakes her hand; they let go) so you're the mysterious girl, Adam Sr is trying to find dirt on!
Babe – guilty…I don't know what he thinks he'll find on me! JR already knows everything…
Liza – I am sorry…I am Liza Colby
Babe – I know…I saw a picture of you, and JR showed me all his family and told me a bit about them
Liza – really…like what?
Babe – well, you married JR's daddy three times…you were Co – CEO at Chandler, and know your owner and station manager at WRCW, your daddy is dead and your momma is married to Stuart, you have been a very bad girl…you have tried numerous times to get Adam locked up, and you stole millions from the Chandlers…your quite the cool chick! JR agrees I also heard about your Brain Tumor, I am glad you're all right!
Liza – well…that was all in 2002, since then Adam and I have made up…but he still doesn't trust me like he use too and know I have Colby to worry about so I am no longer the bad girl! And I am very lucky I was able to recover from the Brain Tumor…I am not ready to leave this earth; I am not even 40 yet! I have too much to do…
Babe – exactly…so Colby, JR's little sister! She's adorable, she's 10 years old right!
Liza – almost 11
Babe – JR loves his sister…he talks about how smart she is! And how she like riding horses, and how she's really good at Chess, but he didn't mention that she loved Strawberry milk…
Liza – she refused to drink milk any other way…and her favorite color is pink!
Babe – I also refused to drink milk another way, this was the only way I would drink it!
Liza – I should get back to Colby, and my mother…where watching Finding Nemo
Babe – what! You guys get it while it's still in theaters?
Liza – yeah! We paid them a nice sum of money, to be able to do that! Well…Adam did!
Babe – that's very cool
Liza finishes pouring strawberry milk, and gets drinks for her and her mother
Liza – so where is JR?
Babe – he's in the shower…he's been living with Jamie since him and his dad got in to that fight! About me!
Liza – I heard about that…I am sorry Adam could be so mean! But he loves his children and he doesn't want to see them get hurt! When he finds out your not a fake, he'll come around!
Babe – I've heard that many times! I just hope your right!
Liza – would you like to meet my mother, and Colby?
Babe – Sure…I would love too
Liza – okay, come on!
Babe and Liza walk in up to the theater doors, Babe opens the door for Liza and she walks in, Marian pauses the movie…it's a large screen and it is has 20 seats around it, it looks like an exact replica of a movie theater, with the exception of the raised seating. The movie is paused; Marian and Colby walk up to Liza there smiling…
Marian – what took you so long darling? And who is this beautiful young lady?
Liza – her name is Babe Carey…
Marian – your JR's girlfriend…it's wonderful to finally meet you!
Babe looks at Marian; she is 5'7 and has a slender frame, she has short blonde curly hair, and these medium dark blue eyes, she has a wide smile, she holds out her hand Babe shakes it, they let go!
Babe – and it's very nice to meet you, JR has told me a lot about you!
Marian – really! These days, I've settled down! I am not as crazy and troublesome as I use to be
Babe – (laughs) don't you miss those days of being a wild child?
Marian – of course, but as you get older, you become wiser and finally realize it isn't as satisfying as it use to be!
Liza – Colby…honey, I would like for you to meet your brother's girlfriend…Babe
Colby walks around her mother and grandmother, and is now in front of them…she has long blonde hair and these light blue eyes, she has a smile on her face…
Colby – hi…how are you?
Babe – hi…I am fine! How are you?
Colby – good! So do you want to watch Finding Nemo with us?
Babe – I would love too, I love that movie!
Colby – so do I, it's my favorite movie!

Colby – oh yeah! I am in the chess club; we won the championship this year
Babe – very cool, so what grade are you going to in September?
Colby – grade 6…but I am getting Grade 7 work

Marian – your daddy's going to have a heart attack!
JR – we were going to tell him; when he finally finds out the information about Babe!
Liza – so you want us to keep it under wraps…
JR and Babe look at Liza; and everyone else
JR – yes, please! It would really mean a lot to us!
Stuart – but then wouldn't that mean your lying…and lying is bad!
JR – I know it is uncle Stuart, but please just for a little while longer
Babe – we need to tell him; when were ready…and when he trusts I am not out for the money, or to wreck his sons life!
Marian looks around; everyone is in agreement
Marian – all right, but if he finds out sooner then expected I am not lying to him
JR – I wouldn't put you in that position…
Babe - the truth will have to come out sooner or later, I just pray it's later!

Tuesday July 29 2003
JR is living 2 apartments down from Babe; Adam thinks JR and Babe are living together, Adam finally found out about Babe, and he kept asking for JR's forgiveness, so JR said the only way I'll forgive you, is if you are nice too my wife, and you treat her with respect and like she is a Chandler, and if you allow us to live together alone for a year… He agreed! Adam doesn't know that Babe is at AA meetings; and he won't find out about her and JR cheating on each other, till the time is right. JR bought Babe a new car a black. Tad and Krystal are still dating; Jamie and Amanda have also started dating, Adam and Brooke are still "friends"…but she practically lives in the mansion now! Yesterday was the first day of Babe's 8th week of pregnancy; JR has totally been involved all the way.
Babe and Amanda are talking
Babe – so today makes it 8 weeks…this is so exciting!
Amanda – it is exciting…it'd be better if you and JR could kiss and make up!
Babe – we can't! Not yet!
Amanda- but you two act like a couple whose together…not apart! You guys both were your rings still! Are you sure your doing the right thing?
Babe – yes! I guess we both just can't take our rings off…and we are not together!
Amanda – yeah…Josh and Kendall are both proof of that!
Babe – Josh has been very cool…he is really taking care of me!
Amanda – I can't believe that, you're allowed to have sex while your pregnant and your choice to share that with is someone who's not your husband!
Babe – Amanda…you got to swear you won't tell anyone this…not even Jamie!
Amanda – (looks worried) okay…I pinky swear
Amanda holds out her pinky; Babe hooks hers with Amanda
Babe – I am not sleeping with Josh; he sleeps in my bed with me, but where not sleeping together…
Amanda – (smiles) thank god! I am so happy! You shouldn't be sleeping with men who aren't JR; it's what started all this break stuff in the first place!
Babe – yeah, because I swore that after that Jamie stuff…I would never sleep with another man who wasn't JR, but he's sleeping with Kendall… that blows! But I told him it goes that way for both of us
Amanda – what have you gotten yourself in to?
Babe – I don't know! But I can't back down know! Plus…he has Kendall at his place now; I bet the skin has hit the sheets 30 second after she walked in his door!
Amanda looks at her best friend and pulls her in for a hug
Amanda – even if that's true…remember his heart will always burn for you only!
Meanwhile At JR's apartment; JR and Kendall are watching a movie; he has his arm around her and is playing with his ring, Kendall is thinking about a man she just met, his name is Ethan Ramsey and she can't stop thinking about him!
